817 supported by a minimum of nominal 2-inch (51 mm) ledgers attached to

818 the sides of the roof framing members for a minimum distance of 4 feet

819 (1219 mm) on each side of the wall or walls and there are no openings

820 or penetrations in the roof within 4 feet (1219 mm) of the common walls

78 R3022 Townhouses Each townhouse shall be considered a separate building and

79 shall be separated by fire-resistance-rated wall assemblies meeting the requirements

710 of section R3021 for exterior walls

711 Exception A common 1-hour fire-resistance-rated wall assembly tested in

712 accordance with ASTM E 119 or UL 263 is permitted for townhouses if such walls

713 do not contain plumbing or mechanical equipment ducts or vents in the cavity of

714 the common wall The wall shall be rated for fire exposure from both sides and

715 shall extend to and be tight against exterior walls and the underside of the roof

716 sheathing Electrical installations shall be installed in accordance with Minnesota

717 Rules chapter 1315 Penetrations of electrical outlet boxes shall be in accordance

718 with section R3024

719 R30221 Continuity The fire-resistance-rated wall assembly separating

720 townhouses shall be continuous from the foundation to the underside of the roof

721 sheathing roof deck or roof slab The fire-resistance rating shall extend the full

722 length of the wall or assembly including wall extensions through and separating

723 attached enclosed accessory structures The separation shall extend through enclosed

724 soffits overhangs and similar projections

83 walls in accordance with the following

84 1 where roof surfaces adjacent to the wall or walls are at the same elevation

85 the parapet shall extend not less than 30 inches (762 mm) above the roof

86 surfaces or

87 2 where roof surfaces adjacent to the wall or walls are at different elevations

88 and the higher roof is not more than 30 inches (762 mm) above the lower roof

89 the parapet shall extend not less than 30 inches (762 mm) above the lower

810 roof surface

811 Exception A parapet is not required in the two cases above when the

812 roof is covered with a minimum class C roof covering and the roof

813 decking or sheathing is of noncombustible materials or approved

814 fire-retardant-treated wood for a distance of 4 feet (1219 mm) on each

815 side of the wall or walls or one layer of 58-inch (159 mm) type X

816 gypsum board is installed directly beneath the roof decking or sheathing

817 supported by a minimum of nominal 2-inch (51 mm) ledgers attached to

818 the sides of the roof framing members for a minimum distance of 4 feet

819 (1219 mm) on each side of the wall or walls and there are no openings

820 or penetrations in the roof within 4 feet (1219 mm) of the common walls

821 3 A parapet is not required where roof surfaces adjacent to the wall or walls

822 are at different elevations and the higher roof is more than 30 inches (762

823 mm) above the lower roof The common wall construction from the lower

824 roof to the underside of the higher roof deck shall have not less than a 1-hour

825 fire-resistance rating The wall shall be rated for exposure from both sides
